html: properly handle trailing solidus in unquoted attribute value in foreign content The parser properly treats tags like <p a=/> as <p a="/">, but the tokenizer emits the SelfClosingTagToken token incorrectly. When the parser is used to parse foreign content, this results in an incorrect DOM. Thanks to Sean Ng (https://ensy.zip) for reporting this issue. Fixes golang/go#73070 Fixes CVE-2025-22872 Change-Id: I65c18df6d6244bf943b61e6c7a87895929e78f4f Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/net/+/661256 Reviewed-by: Neal Patel <nealpatel@google.com> Reviewed-by: Roland Shoemaker <roland@golang.org> LUCI-TryBot-Result: Go LUCI <golang-scoped@luci-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com> Auto-Submit: Gopher Robot <gobot@golang.org>
